Now The Backing Is Done...

The backing was finished on Saturday, so my Birthday FQs Quilt is ready to go to the quilter! Yay!

This is my fifth quilt, but the first time I have pieced a backing... what an effort it was... wrangling this great big thing through Miss Pfaff... pressing it & trying to see if it was sitting flat after each addition of purple fabric... I confess I'm glad it's done now... I'll be going with a wideback next quilt!

Anyway here it is... in all its purple & green glory...

The contrast between the purple outer & the inner fabrics is not as stark as this pic suggests, it's just hard to get a good pic of something so big, & in cloudy weather.

Now I'm off to wash a dog bed or two for the Site Manager...

is anyone else having hilarious visions of a Papillon dog, hand washing his bedding in a laundry trough?!

Thank You for visiting my blog... I hope you have a good look around.
My creative interests include stitchery, English Paper Piecing, bag making, a bit of cross stitch, & quilts. I have way too many ideas in my head & not enough time to make them all!
